Lissatinny is a rath situated in the townland of Lissatinny near Coleraine in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The monument is a ringfort of Early Christian date, representing a common settlement form of the early medieval period in Ireland. The site consists of a circular or oval earthwork defined by a bank and ditch, typical of domestic raths that served as fortified farmsteads for local populations during the early centuries of Christianity. Such monuments are characteristic of the settlement pattern across Ulster from approximately the fifth to twelfth centuries, though precise chronological dating for individual sites remains uncertain without excavation.
